Tips & Advice

Can a pet still be boarded if it doesn't get along with other animals?

Pets that do not get along with other animals may incur an additional fee. Some facilities have special solitary sleeping and play animals for these types of pets.

What should be brought along when dropping off a pet at a kennel or boarding facility?

A checklist for what to bring to a pet kennel includes:

Vaccination records

A favorite toy or blanket

Food and feeding instructions (if the pet has dietary restrictions or is a picky eater)

Medication (if necessary, in its original bottle and with written instructions)

Will there be a veterinarian on staff at the pet kennel?

Some pet kennels have veterinarians as part of their daily staff, while others only have vets part time or on call.

Can kennels accept pets with special medical or dietary needs?

Most kennels can provide basic care such as administering medications, but owners of pets with serious medical issues should choose a facility with a veterinarian on call.

How easy is it for a pet to catch Bordetella (kennel cough)?

Bordetella, commonly known as kennel cough, is highly contagious, and most dogs catch it at least once in their lifetimes. As such, all dogs should be vaccinated at least 7 days before boarding.

What vaccines does my pet need prior to boarding at a kennel or pet boarding facility?

Vaccination requirements vary between facilities, but a good rule of thumb is to give dogs the rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough), and DAPP (canine distemper, canine adenovirus type 1, canine parvovirus, and parainfluenza) or DA2PP (distemper, adenovirus type 2, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) vaccines. Cats should get the FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) and rabies vaccines.

Do animals get fresh air or exercise at a kennel or pet boarding facility?

Kennels and pet boarding facilities generally incorporate exercise or play time into the cost of a night's stay. Dogs often get one or two walks per day as well as access to a solitary or group play area. Cats also get a large room to play in filled with toys, scratching posts, and climbing towers.

What accommodations and services will a pet receive at a kennel or pet boarding facility?

Basic accommodations include a sleeping area and scheduled food and water. The average kennel or pet boarding facility also offers ample play areas and toys to keep pets entertained. Some also provide simple grooming services like baths and nail trimmings.

How much does it cost to board a pet?

Pet kennels, boarding facilities, and pet hotels offer different accommodations and price their services accordingly. Some provide bedding, food, and a basic crate, while others offer private luxury rooms. Prices also vary based on the animal being boarded. Below are some common price ranges:

Dog: $15-$70 daily

Cat: $10-$40 daily

Small animal: $20-$35 daily

What types of animals do pet kennels accept?

Most kennels and pet boarding facilities accept cats and dogs. Some facilities also take reptiles, birds, rodents, and exotic pets.

Dr Stan and his wife are the most loving and caring people They clearly love and care for all of their patients dearly. They have went above and beyond just taking care of our cats but they guinely love them as their own There has been many occasions that Dr Stan has went out of his way just to care for our senior cat. When our beloved cat passed away I have never seen more caring people. I can honestly say that I will never take my cats to anyone else There are many veterinarians out there but there is only one Dr Stan. He is truly a gift and we are so lucky to have found him If you want the best care possible for you cat you must go to The Pampurred Cat!!!!

By far the best vet I have ever been to! They are very kind and personable and you can tell they really love cats. Mine and my family's cats have been going here ever since we moved to the area 10 years ago and will never go anywhere else.

Dr. Stan and his wife have shown us nothing but the most excellent care for our two cats, not to mention how kind they have been to us. They are incredibly flexible and have advised us and provided care through several tough pet health situation and thanks to them our cats have never been healthier. They even let us come in one night in an emergency and saves one of their lives. I would never go anywhere else.

Went there to get blood work for cat and there was no vet tech to help. My spouse and I were instructed to hold cat and even apply pressure to the vein so it would pop up out of the skin to make it easier to draw. We are not vet techs and not trained to do such things. After 3 attempts trying to draw enough blood, he finally gave up. The blood drawn was not enough to get a complete blood workup done. He also wanted to cut out a lump from our cats face before aspirating it with a needle to determine what it was first and without a complete blood work up. He also didn't inform us that the cat would need to fast before surgery until we asked him about it. Needless to say we were not happy and found another vet even though it would cost more. Next, after the blood test came back, incomplete, we were told by this vet and the lab that we would not have to pay another $100 to run the test, so we had the new vet draw the blood and the lab would not honor what we were told a few days prior, they wanted the blood to come from the first vet, so we asked if we could transfer the blood to his business and have him send it to the lab. His wife with whom we spoke with said she would have to ask and complained that we went to another vet, but that her husband would have to call us back. He did call back and he refused to help.
